Beginning August 3, 2018 visitors are invited to visit the constructed Goat Mountain Chapel and experience FLATSITTER’s newest virtual reality work, complete with haptics, poetry, sermons, sound work, and visuals. Return over the course of the following two weeks to track the growth of the Chapel build before it moves on to the Black Rock Desert.

As described by FLATSITTER, “It is through the death of God that religions emerge, and it is from the ashes of the Burned-over District of Western New York that a new faith is risen. This is the Nth Great Awakening. This new, federally recognized ‘avant-garde religion’ draws equally from reason, atavistic knowledge, and a binary divinity. Everything is already dead and risen in advance.”

The first services for this new faith will be conducted at Eleven Twenty Projects in Buffalo, NY – – available for both walk-in and online appointments. From there, this religious sect will deliver sermons for worshippers at Burning Man. And, finally, will live as a public art installation in the high desert in Landers, California, next to the Giant Rock Airport.
